What type of sewing machine would you reccomend?
What type of sewing machine would you reccomend to a intermeaditae seamstrss with a budget of 500$. I will be sewing around 20 hours a week. Materials such as PUL, Fleece, Wool, cotton, burlap, elastic, hmmm......... I also need an adjustable width/length tripple stich zigzag.
Sounds like you've got most of your answers right there. I'd go for a known-sturdy machine, new or used, and I'd probably look for an electronic machine, because you get the full needle punching force even at a very low speed with a servo or stepper motor.
Myself, I'm partial to Viking, Pfaff and Elna... but look around and try out the machines with the materials you'll be using. The only thing that gives me pause in your list is burlap, because it tends to be so dusty.... I keep a $10 garage sale straight stitcher around for sewing stuff like that instead of using my good machine.
The fastest way I know to audition a bunch of machines is to make buttonholes -- a machine that can do a good buttonhole is much more likely to be good in other areas, compared to one that does mediocre buttonholes.
Suggested reading:
John Giordano's The Sewing Machine Book
(especially for used machines), Carol Ahles' Fine Machine Sewing
(especially the first and last few chapters) and Gale Grigg
Hazen's Owner's Guide to Sewing Machines, Sergers and Knitting
Machines. All of these are likely to be available at your public
library.
Used brands I'd particularly look for: Elna, Bernina,
Viking/Husqvarna, Pfaff, Singer (pre 1970), Juki, Toyota
Two side comments from the list of fabrics and "20 hours a week", which is actually a pretty heavy duty cycle for a home machine:
1) if you're using a home machine in a business, you void the warranty, so you may want to definitely consider used.
2) it sounds like you might be making baby goods. If you're in the US, you need to know NOW about CPSIA, the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act, which basically affects everything made for kids under 12 -- it has big, sharp teeth and there are no exemptions for small businesses.
